Notes

Make sure Cool Whip is thawed in the refrigerator before using.
Cookies are done when edges are firm. Be sure not to over bake them -- they shouldn't turn brown.
Can sub 1/3 cup vegetable oil for the whipped topping.
Sprinkles don't always stick well. You can add more sprinkles right after baking.
